Could you build this?
Partial While an MCP server is just a JSON-RPC interface that can be vibe-coded, interfacing with Unreal Editor requires deep domain knowledge of Unreal Engine C++, Slate/Editor scripting, and engine subsystems.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves an Unreal Engine C++ or Python plugin that exposes internal editor subsystems, actor manipulation, and level editing APIs over a local socket to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The hard part is deep familiarity with Unreal Engine's C++ reflection system, Slate UI, and editor command APIs to safely manipulate assets without crashing the editor. This demands specialized game engine and UE editor tooling expertise.
